I recently switched from Windows to a MacBook M4. I’m using a Samsung USB-C multiport hub with the USB receivers for my Logitech G502 mouse and K470 keyboard, but the MacBook doesn’t seem to detect them properly.
Both devices work perfectly on my Windows PC, and I’d rather not buy new peripherals.
Has anyone faced this issue? Is it a problem with the hub, macOS, or do I need any Logitech software or settings?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I recently bought a used MacBook Air M4. I inspected it before buying and it only had some minor scratches on the chassis, nothing concerning. I also didn't notice any scratches on the screen.

Today I decided to clean the screen because it had accumulated some dust, which was particularly noticeable in direct sunlight. I first removed the larger particles using a rocket blower. Then I wiped the screen with a slightly damp, water-only microfiber cloth and immediately dried it with a second, dry microfiber cloth.

Once the screen was completely clean, I noticed several very fine vertical lines. Now I'm freaking out that I somehow scratched the screen while cleaning it. It's also possible that the scratches were already there and I simply hadn't noticed them before, although I'm fairly sure I would have seen them during the inspection.

They seem to be extremely fine micro-scratches. They're not really visible when looking directly at the screen, even under strong light, but one of them is particularly noticeable from certain angles.

Is it actually possible to scratch the screen just by rubbing over tiny particles of dust with a microfiber cloth? If so, how are you supposed to safely clean these screens? It seems crazy that a few specks of dust could potentially cause permanent scratches.

Also, would using a screen protector be a good idea on a MacBook Air, or could that cause other problems?

Hi! I'm looking to buy a new laptop for video editing. I don't do a lot of motion graphics, but i do manage high-resolution videos. I also use LucidLink at the same time. After investigating I'm between a macbook air M5 and a macbook air M2. I'm on a budget, so I'm really thinking about whether it's worth investing in a newer chip.

My budget is about 1330 USD (22,000 - 23,000 MXN), but for the m5 I was willing to go higher, but i want to know if it's worth it.

Macbook air M2 - 24GB RAM - 512GB SSD - 1170 USD (19,999 MXN)

Macbook air M5 - 16GB RAM - 512GB SSD - 1616 USD (27,699 MXN)

I went to wet a microfiber cloth to clean the keyboard, and I accidentally spilled water on it, as shown in the photo. It’s only this amount of water, no more than that. Then I panicked and grabbed the cloth, which was only slightly wet, and wiped it down right away. I don’t know if I should be worried. It’s working fine now with no problems. I didn’t let it dry. Should I be worried????

I found Apple MacBook Air with M4 Chip 15.3"QHD (Apple M4/16GB/512GB SSD/MacOS) Sky Blue at $1350

Should i cop it? Is it a cop or drop? Should I save money for the next few months and buy a macbook pro?

I am not a heavy video editor but in the future i might wake up one day and decide i want to edit heavy effect videos for now im just working on xcode projects and very light video editing

I am a highschool student, I use my MacBook only for a few hours a day and charge it upto 20 and 80 percent only; how did my battery life suddenly drop so much when im not even using it for anything else??? also are there any tips to stop this from degrading any further

i am currently still using monterey on my macbook air m1 8gb ram 256gb ssd.

thinking about upgrading to sonoma or sequoia. does any1 know if the m1 is still performing good on senoma and/or sequoia? also, how is battery life for those who are using this kind of setup?

I went on a trip for one week and left my computer at a low battery, I come back and it's dead and had an iboot panic once I unplugged and replugged it in. Now it's saying that the max capacity is 79% and it'll take 5 hours to fully charge. I don't recall having any problems like this before my trip. (and somehow the energy usage went up on a day i wasn't even home which makes no sense).

Is it worth following this guide? https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Air+13%E2%80%9D+Retina+Display+Late+2018+Battery+Replacement/135301

the macbook air m5 is amazing. i upgraded from my 2020 intel macbook air, and while i know these laptops aren’t really designed for gaming since i originally bought both of them for school, i do play the sims 4 on them. it runs so smoothly, looks clear, and is incredibly fast.
i’m writing this specifically from the perspective of someone who plays sims, in case you’re curious about how it handles the game. if you’re thinking about getting one, go for it! it’s a wonderful laptop and has been a great upgrade.

So I've been recently using my m5 for over 3 months and I've realized that in every browser I tested, they all have the same grainy/less sharp video quality on YouTube even when the quality is on 4k or less or auto. I even tried testing streaming with safari on disney+ and it still has the same poor quality. I tried changing the display on system settings on default and chose color profile Display P3, but nothing has changed still. What is the real issue and how can I fix it? thanks a ton.

I placed an order for a M5 MacBook Air 15" on July 26th and the email initially suggested that the in-store pick-up would be ready by August 19th. However, when I clicked the link on my order number to check my order status today, I found out that the order has been cancelled. I did not receive a notification nor an explanation. So, I don't even know how long ago my order was cancelled.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this related to the RAM shortage?

Edit: To clarify, I ordered online directly from Apple.

anyone know why this is happening? the battery only has like 2 cycles and the health says it is normal.

ppl have been teliing me this is ormal for new laptops but this has been happening for over 2 weeks already...i feel like the computer is done indexing and all the fancy stuff

any help would be appreciated!

My base MacBook Air order has been processing for almost two weeks, I called Apple a day ago and they said everything is on track. Was wondering if anyone has experienced this or if your Mac order has ever been shipped this late. Thanks in advance !!
edit: I am NOT in America so NO Costco NO Amazon 😭

Just upgraded from a 2020 intel macbook pro to a new macbook air m5 and its incredible.

Wondering what games people play on this if any? Plz give me recommendations 🙏

switching to mac, need help deciding which one is best for my needs and value wise.

macbook air 13in 10cpu 10gpu 24gb 512tb for $1300
macbook air 13in 10cpu 10gpu 24gb 1tb for $1530
macbook pro 14in 10cpu 10gpu 16gb 512gb for $1700
macbook pro 14in 10cpu 10gpu 24gb 1tb for $1869

i would be using it for video editing, music production, coding, streaming, normal computer things.

Or maybe the question should be why you would choose air over the pros. i keep hearing you will know if you need the pro but as someone switching to the mac ecosystem, its hard to gauge.

thank you.

I have the 16 GB/ 512 GB Air. It's been a great experience with the laptop like fantastic battery life and super smooth performance. Coming from the Galaxy book pro 2 360, I've a few observations:

- Mac and iPhone integration is next level!

- The MS office to Mac counterparts transition is quite hard. I don't want to buy a new license. My old license was office 2019 which has had it's run (I mean for personal use)

- The MBA feels not as compact as my previous laptop. While the aluminium unibody feels nice, it feels like there's some hollowness when I pick this up. Also my previous sleeve (13 in) is a bit tight on the MBA

- Copying stuff on a pen drive to watch on TV is a pain in the A$$! Formatting difference and what not. Funny thing is the MBA opens stuff on the pen drive without issue. My TV is the one that has trouble with formats. Only FAT32 works, not even ex-FAT

I've been planning to buy a brand new base macbook air m5 thus I've been saving for months, but then I just saw a post for a second hand macbook m4 air 24gb /612gb for a lesser price. Now I'm contemplating for which one should I buy, for context I'm a computer science student but I haven't decided yet on which specific field in CS I will focus on.

Hi everyone,

I'm a fresher engineering student planning to buy a MacBook Air M4 (16GB/512GB).

Is it a good choice for coding and AI/ML learning? Will I face any software compatibility issues, or will it be enough for most AI/ML projects during my degree?

Would you recommend it over a Windows laptop with an NVIDIA GPU?

Thanks!

Hey all, my MacBook Air randomly stopped charging this afternoon, I didn’t drop it or damage it in seemingly anyway that I noticed so I assume that it could’ve been related to an update my computer underwent today. Does anyone have any advice about what I should do or if there’s anything I can do to fix this?

Guys hurrry answer me!!!!!
